I'm about to go into a meeting with our procedures group for at least an hour to tell them they don't know how to do their jobs, but at least I have coffee. Also I am sad I fell asleep and missed CAH last night.

What's everyone else up to today?

[rooskie]

I'm off work today *yay* but its raining out *boo* and I need to go run errands. Also, one of our cats is a big sissy and was up all night with the storms and I kind of feel bad leaving him....but I get to go shopping!

[carolinagirl83]

I've been off all week & my house looks like it could double as a frat house. There's stuff everywhere! So, I'm planning on cleaning up & lounging around with my dogs & dvr.

Aww. Mine spent all night trying to find a way to get outside and "get" the rain.

This one normally tries to dart for the door, but if we aren't home (and sometimes if we are) and its raining hes under our bed.  He woke me up every 2 hours last night.  I would also like to mention that this is DHs cat, but he wakes me up.  Guess I'm the favorite pet parent now...Bwhahahahahah...

Why is work so busy today? It's getting in the way of my plans of being lazy all day. But I am so happy it's Friday!

[mrsjene]

So this happened this morning:

:::walks into shared office and sees co-worker's not-recently-laundered pants that he plans on wearing again today on my desk:::

Me: WOAH! PANTS ON MY DESK!
Him: Oh yea. :::goes about business:::
Me: NO! PANTS OFF MY DESK!
Him: Ok! Ok! Geez!

He then goes and tells people that I freaked out over his pants being on my desk (he bikes to work and switches pants when he gets here). Of course I freaked out! That's weird and gross!

Ew! I would have had the same reaction as you. My desk = My personal space

Dumb motherfucker. "Here, let me just put my sweaty crotch on you."

I learned though an email from my aunt that my mom's house is being auctioned at the end of the month. I am having a lot of emotions about it. I am trying HARD to not treat my mother like a child in this situation. It is a true struggle.

I have this problem A LOT. I'm an only child and my father was never in the picture. Sometimes she does really dumb stuff and then complains about the outcome. I have had to work really hard on stepping back and letting her do her thing.

I accidentally posted this on the confessions thread and I meant for it to go here:

I had one of those 'why did you open your big mouth' moments at a meeting this week.

I'm now writing a proposal for next week's board meeting because my idea was so 'brilliant'. I wish I was a little less brilliant. I should have suggested something like free candy.

I might try to make my own peep diorama... this shit might get real.

I will never understand how stupid a person must be to not be able to figure out how to correctly fill an ice cube tray. Questions to help you through the process: Did I take the last ice cube? If yes, fill the tray back up. If no, proceed about your bidness. Did you fill each cube with more than 2 millimeters of water? If yes, pat yourself on the back! You are a true hero! If no, what the fuck is wrong with you? Who is too busy to take the time to fill them up all the way so that you can actually grab the cube out when frozen?

This is stems from my irrational irritation at people who are fucking morons.

I am shocked that it has taken this long for her to lose it, if I am being honest. She is basically a homeless shelter to all of my siblings friends. She has a good heart, but does not have the resources to take care of so many people. She is disabled with a very limited income. She provides food/shelter/utilities for on average 6 twenty somethings.

I am really the outlier of my siblings in that I finished college, have a career and have supported myself since I was 16. B will not let me step in to find the "fix" for this, which I know is the way that it should be. But she is my mom, even though she doesn't act like it.  I asked her what her plan is for living, her response was "I haven't thought of it". WTAF?!?!?

Yeah. I'm not an only child, but the oldest. And my mom, for all her wonderful qualities, isn't always the most responsible. And up until a few years ago, I felt like it was my job to clean up after her, even when whatever was happening had nothing to do with me. I had to quit. It was hard, but liberating in the long run.

B is able to keep me from trying to do that. I am a fixer by nature. But I know that I cannot put my family (B) in a place of financial hardship because of her choices.

Ugh that sucks. My mom ended up short selling the house and it was honestly the best thing ever. She now lives with my aunt which is another story entirely. My biggest problem was that my mother's last job took complete and total advantage of her the last year she worked there. She was working 70+ hours a week and they were only paying her $100 a week, because they were "going through some hard times and would pay it all once they had money again". Well they bought new equipment, hired new people, and still continued to pay her $100. She finally found a much, much better job but she never went after them for the money. I told her all she had to do was call the department of labor and they would do practically everything for her. I even got her the phone number and explained the process. She never did and she complains she has no money. REALLY!?

I printed out the disability information 3 times before she finally tried to fill it out.  Even though she was unable to work since 1996...just got it taken care of LAST YEAR!

So sorry for the family issues, shemarie82. That has to be so hard.

This recently just happened to my BIL. He decided that making his house payment wasn't important. The 1st time DH bailed him out. He did it AGAIN! He has the money. He can afford the house he bought without issue. He just doesn't pay attention to ANYTHING. Now at the age of 32 he has to move back in with my ILs. Thankfully ILs have enough money to purchase another house for him to rent from them so he has somewhere to live. I just cannot fathom that at 32 he still can't handle being an adult.

My bank website isn't working and it's annoying me.

My 5 year old daughter asked me over breakfast why you need a daddy to have a baby when the mommy is the one that has the baby.

Well, my mom is 60 and can't handle being an adult. She CANNOT move in with me. I know that is part of my fear. It would not be good for my anxiety...but I am the only child that has a house, and we have 3 extra bedrooms...
